Parents fret over daughter’s room
DEAR ABBY: How important is
it for a teen-ager to keep her room
clean? We have a teen-age daughter
who is a slob, but otherwise she’s a
good kid. The condition of her room
is the only thing my husband and I
ever fight about.
DEAR DISAGREEMENT:
First, let’s define our terms. What
do you mean by “clean”? Free of
dirt and pollution? Or simply a
reasonably neat and orderly
room?
I do not advocate a daily white

DEAR ABBY: 1 am a 33-year-old
male, 6 feet tall, weight 190.1 am in
excellent physical condition, and I’m
told that I am very good-looking. I
am gay — but that’s not my problem.
My problem is what to tell people
(obviously people who don’t know
me very well) when I’m asked, “How
come an attractive man like you isn’t
married?”
If I say (which I have), “I guess
maybe I just haven’t met the right
person yet,” they say, “Oh, have I got
a girl for you!”
Obviously, I am not interested in
meeting the girl they have in mind,
and I don’t want to go through that

Was this such a bad slam? Without a

Q. I remember impact as a noon.
Then it slid into usage as s verb. Now
- can you believe — impactful?
A. I can believe that it’s being used,
but I doubt that we need it. Impact ac-
tually began as a verb, then became a
noun, and recently returned as a com-
pact verb for “to have an impact." Its
adjective forms already include im-
pactive, impacted, and impacting, so
impactful may not have much
impact.
Try pent-up for “confined” or “re-
pressed" To write about pent-up feel-
ings, you could begin by writing down
this adjective.
Pronounce escape carefully. Its
first consonant is s, not x. Don t say
“excape," or your audience may want
to escape.

Any suggestions? I’m not a very
good liar.
GARY (NOT MY REAL NAME)
DEAR GARY: Since you’re ba-
sically a truthful person — how
about this: “I appreciate your
interest, but I’m gay.” They will
probably think you’re kidding—
even though there’s a 10 percent
chance that you’re kidding on
the square.
DEAR ABBY: Frequently grand-
mothers write to you about the frus-
tration they feel about sending gifts
to grandchildren who never acknowl-
edge them.
I’ve hit upon a plan that works.
Whenever I send a gift, I always
include a postcard, pre-addressed to
myself with the child’s return ad-
dress in the upper left-hand corner.
I also add a note, saying I am eager
to know how the garment fits, or how
they like the toy, because that helps
me to keep current with their likes
and dislikes.
Most youngsters are at the mercy
of their parents for stationery,
stamps, addresses, etc. The size of
the postcard is right — the child will
not feel intimidated wondering how
to fill a whole page with words!
In the last year, my grandchil-
dren, ages 9, 10 and 11, have re-
sponded to this idea positively, and
I’ve seen their letter-writing skills
improve. And the most important
part — I make it a point to answer
their letters, as I don’t want it to be
a one-way street.
GRANDMA M.
IN GLENDALE, ARIZ.
DEAR GRANDMA M.: What a
great idea! You make it easy for
your grandchildren to acknowl-
edge their gifts, and it’s a good
learning experience for them.
Thanks for sharing this thought-
ful idea with millions of our
readers. You rate a nomination
for Grandmother of the Year.

queen of spades had come down, the
contract would depend only upon fa
vorable diamonds. But West held the
queen of spades for a sure trick and
had already set up a club trick for the
defense. What now?
Often the secret of succeeding in
seemingly impossible contracts is for
declarer to make certain assumptions
— that a particular distribution of
cards exists that will allow him to
make the contract. Such is the case
here. After the king of clubs lead,
when the queen of spades does not fall,
declarer has but one chance. He has to
hope that West holds four diamonds.
Declarer wins the day by playing a di-
amond to dummy’s ace and then a
heart back to his ace. Next the eight of
diamonds is played. When West plays
low, declarer also plays low from

Q. On vacation in Britain, I saw the
word aboon. What does that mean?
A. Aboon is a Scottish dialect word
for “above." Variants of aboon in
Scottish and English dialect date back
more than six centuries, including the
Middle English abone. To extend your

aboon can prove to be a boon.
